Knicks may be able to slide in as a 3rd team in some trade. I know that doesn't sound exciting but it could still be beneficial depending on what we get. There always seems to be a need for a 3rd team at the Trade Deadline.

Having that open spot and the rights to the euro have to help as well.

At this point, a happy KP is an imperative, and I feel that Hernangomez was drafted because he was a good fit as a player AND as a friend of KPs.

Also, if Hill is an upgrade why would Indy trade him? What does ATL gain by adding another vet?

Would the Hawks be interested in Horford for Lopez+Williams? Lopez would be a longterm asset for them. They seem to want a player like Williams since they lose Carroll.

For us it's risky, because we could lose Al at season's end, but would like the chances of keeping Al. Most years and money we could offer, and he's a great fit in the Triangle.

Horford/Porzingis/Melo front line would be one of the best in the league. All 3 guys can give you atleast 15 a night, pass, board, shoot + score inside. Much more versatility. Allows KP to play more Center as well.

If we are able to sign Conley in the offseason

Horford/Porzingis/Melo/Afflalo/Conley is a strong playoff team.

That would be a helluva lineup. I don't know if it's possible, but it's a helluva lineup.

I'd offer Lopez + DWill to Atlanta for Horford and I think they would be interested. May not happen, but still something they'd have some interest in possibly.

The other possibility is Lance Thomas instead of DWill, since Atlanta is looking for a wing/forward type, but I really like Lance. He does play the position that Melo and KP operate the most minutes in, so there's that.

Why would they want Williams to replace Carroll though since those two are totally different players?? Carroll shoots and can actually make the 3 ball and plays defense and Williams doesn't do either one well. I'd love to have that lineup though but just don't see it happening.

The thing about Williams going to ATL is that they already have that role taken care of by Mike Scott. I do not think people realize exactly how ell he is playing this year offensively and he is a better defensive player than Williams.

yeah, i read it. i meant i don't know if the Hawks would do that trade or if Conley would sign here. I would do all that in a heartbeat.
